Abstract

Trifluoromethyltrimethylsilane (Ruppert's reagent, CF 3 SiMe 3 ) has recently attracted attention as a source of the trifluoromethyl functional group, and has been widely used for the conversions of aldehydes and ketones to trifluoromethyl alcohols, 1 of esters to trifluoromethyl ketones 2 and of azirines to trifluoromethylaziridines. 3 In particular, the reactions of acylsilanes with CF 3 SiMe 3 have produced the versatile intermediate, difluoroenoxysilane, which is readily ...
